ZFS file systems are mounted and unmounted automatically. You can make a legacy UFS file system available by mounting it, which attaches the file system to the system directory tree at the specified mount point. The root (/) file system is always mounted.
The following table provides guidelines on mounting file systems based on how you use them.
|
For more information on mounting removable media, see Chapter 1, Managing Removable Media (Overview).
You can determine which file systems are already mounted by using the mount command.
$ mount [ -v ]
The -v displays the list of mounted file systems in verbose mode.
Example 18-1 Determining Which File Systems Are Mounted
This example shows how to use the mount command to display information about the file systems that are currently mounted.
$ mount / on rpool/ROOT/zfsBE read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=40d0002 on Wed ... /devices on /devices read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=9500000 on Wed ... /dev on /dev read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=9580000 on Wed Jun ... /system/contract on ctfs read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=95c0001 ... /proc on proc read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=9540000 on Wed Jun ... /etc/mnttab on mnttab read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=9600001 on Wed ... /system/volatile on swap read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/xattr/dev=9640001 ... /system/object on objfs read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=9680001 on Wed ... /etc/dfs/sharetab on sharefs read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=96c0001 on ... /dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/dev=97c0001 on Wed Jun 8 ... /tmp on swap read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/xattr/dev=9640002 on Wed Jun ... /export on rpool/export read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/nonbmand/exec/xattr/ /export/home on rpool/export/home read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown /rpool on rpool read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/nonbmand/exec/ /home/rimmer on pluto:/export/home/rimmer remote/read/write/setuid/xattr/...
This example shows how to use the zfs mount command to display information about ZFS file systems that are currently mounted.
$ zfs mount rpool/ROOT/solaris / rpool/ROOT/solaris/var /var rpool /rpool rpool/export /rpool/export rpool/export/home /rpool/export/home rpool/export/home/admin /rpool/export/home/admin
An entry in the /etc/vfstab file has seven fields, which are described in the following table.
Table 18-1 Field Descriptions for the /etc/vfstab File
|
Note - You must have an entry in each field in the /etc/vfstab file. If there is no value for a field, be sure to specify a dash (-). Otherwise, the system might not boot successfully. Similarly, white space should not be used as a field value.
The prerequisites for unmounting file systems include the following:
You must be an administrator or assume an equivalent role.
You cannot unmount a file system that is busy. A file system is considered busy if a user is accessing a directory in the file system, if a program has a file open in that file system, or if the file system is being shared. You can make a file system available for unmounting by doing the following:
Changing to a directory in a different file system.
Logging out of the system.
Using the fuser command to list all processes that are accessing the file system and to stop them, if necessary. For more details, see How to Stop All Processes Accessing a File System.
Notify users if you need to unmount a file system that they are using.
Unsharing the file system. For information about unsharing a file system, see unshare(1M).
To verify that you unmounted a file system or a number of file systems, examine the output from the mount command.
$ mount | grep unmounted-file-system
